Sqn Ldr (later Sir) Hector McGregor DSO

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi guys

As Sqn Ldr McGregor he commanded 213 Squadron during the Battle of Britain, apparently claiming six victories (3 Ju88s, 2 Bf109s, 1 Bf110). I can only find the following:

11 August 1940: Ju88, Ju88 damaged
12 August 1940: Bf110
20 August 1940: Ju88 damaged

Any other details would be appreciated. Also, as CO of 213 Squadron, he would probably have flown AK-A. Any idea of serial number?

Also, relative serial numbers of AK-B, AK-F, AK-J, AK-O, AK-V (all July/August 1940 vintage)

Cheers
Brian

If you haven't seen his entry in 'Aces High' Shores & Williams cast doubts on the claim for 6 and there is no additional claims in 'Aces High - Vol.2'
